LOL I got the same "problem" on the Fabia - it's a 2002 model year as well. Even though it's from 04-2001 ... hehe.

Ok I talked a salesman at Boost controller and ordered my hose kit (#TCS380) in blue. He told me they ordered several kits back on July 1st, And they would take about 6 weeks to arrive at his store. He has taken several pre-orders already. He also said that he only has a few more Blue kits and the rest are Black.

If you do call and order a kit tell him you are from this forum and you will get a discount. They retail for $299.98 and our forum price is $269.98 with an $8.00 Fed-Ex shipping charge.

Mine arrived yesterday from Boostcontroller.com. They look pretty good. My thanks to all those who worked on this with Samco to make this possible.

I just called BoostController and their current orders are spoken for so I'm put on a new batch. :cry:

But since I'm on a new batch I got to choose my color. I'm getting blingy red.

Kudos and thanks to those who helped make this possible.

I just installed my set last night, What a difference! They fit right on with no problems. It took about a 1/2 hr to change.

It just so happened that 2 days ago my original hoses would only hold 4 PSI of boost, So the engine was surging and running crappy with no power. At first I thought I was in limp mode because of how it was running until I checked my boost gauge. It turns out that the hoses didn't rip open, They were just expanding so large (like an inner tube) that they would release pressure above 4 PSI.

Now with the new hoses on the throttle response is amazing, with 17 PSI of boost in stock mode and 25 PSI in High Output mode. I don't remember it ever running this good but I 'm sure with the old hoses slowly failing I just got used to it.

I just ordered a set of these on Friday. Any issues with removal & installation I should be aware of? Sounds like those of you that have stepped up to the performance hoses have been pretty satisfied.

I just removed the original turbo to EGR hoses and replaced them with SAMCO hoses. The SAMCO hoses look good (I ordered yellow ones) and seem to work well. The old hoses were in surprisingly good shape, a combination of ORM modification plus a Provent installed at 5000 miles seemed to help keep them alive. Even so, at 50,000 miles in Florida they were showing signs of fatigue. However, after replacing the hoses, I was very glad that I did not have to do it out in the woods, because it was definitely more than a ½ hour job for me. After doing it, I’d recommend the following procedure.

1. Get at least one spare clamp for the hose that goes from the intercooler to the EGR valve. The Norma clamps that the Libby used as factory clamps have a thick (.1") spring loaded section that is a problem to get onto the hose and the EGR valve projection. A good, thin, lined hose clamp makes clamping the hose to the EGR much easier. You will need a clamp that goes over a 3-1/16" OD hose.

2. Count on removing the battery tray to get decent access to the EGR valve. I found this much easier than trying to attach the hose and hose clamp without good access. The EGR unfortunately has a only about a 3/4" inch projection sticking out to attach the hose to, and since this hose has to be clamped well, you want to be sure the clamp is square with the hose and tightened well. Removing the battery tray takes about ½ hour, you take out the battery, remove all the harnesses attached to the battery tray, remove the fuse box, and then remove 3 nuts–one under the battery, one right by the fender under a wiring harness, and one about 4" down from the battery tray surface under the fuse box. The battery tray then pulls out.

3. Replacing the hose from the turbo to the intercooler is easy, it is a little tight to get at the turbo area, but there is a good projection on the turbo to slide the hose over, and plenty of room to tighten the clamp. For the other side, (intercooler to EGR) remove the old hose, and then position the new hose and clamp over the EGR valve projection and tighten the clamp well. I found it best to put the clamp adjustment under the EGR, but this depends on the type of hose clamp you are using. Then the hoses can be clamped to the intercooler and the vehicle put back together.

I installed mine yesterday. The old ones were still servicable after 61k miles, but very oily. I need to fix the CCV.

One thing I did notice, the upper hose balloons under load more than I expected. (of course I didn't try this with the stock hose so I have no real data to compare) To check clamp integrity I brake torqued the engine a couple of times to 2300 rpm and the upper hose swells visibly.

Anyone else try this?

A little bit of digging and the OEM tubo to CAC hose appears to have been upgraded...

Obsolete
55037729AB
Noun Name - Description HOSE - CAC ENGINE OUTLET
Physical Description NONE

New
55038729AA
Noun Name - Description HOSE - CAC ENGINE OUTLET
Physical Description 1 PC HOSE/FLUOROSILICONE LINER

The CAC -> engine hose appears to have changed part numbers also but don't know why.

Just a note. Boostcontroller.com currently have black and blue Samco hose kits in stock. Mine shipped today. $30.00 off if you mention the forum.

Did you order them online? You can get the discount if you call them. I didn't even have to ask as they asked me where I heard about them first.

I thought I saw blue silicone replacements for the radiator hoses somewhere. They weren't Samco's but it would be cool to have those to match the blue CAC hoses. Anybody have any insight on these?
